I have a 03 ex and my rear brakes have locked up and will not unlock any advice?
I have already made sure it was not the parking brake.

rebuild the caliper or i herd if you put to much fluid in the resivor it will heat up adn expand and cause your brake to lock up when your running

if you run in alot of mud and water the water gets into the parking brake mechanisms and siezes the pin that comes out of the caliper.mine has doneit twice.i just clean the rust off the pin and give it a good coating of grease.

or get a parking brake block-off, parking brakes are useless

take it all apart and take the piston out and get the rust off it then put it all back together and rebleed the brakes
